Getting there…

I went to do my Thanksgiving shopping yesterday and managed to score 48% savings at Albertson’s and 49% at Smith’s. I think I’m finally getting the couponing thing. It was incredibly satisfying to watch the screen check backwards down from $100 to $50. We would have spent $260.42 without coupons and discounts, with all the discounts we spent $168.52.

I saw a show that said that the average family spends $5 per person on Thanksgiving Dinner. We’ll probably be around $6.65 each, but I’ll also be making more dishes than the average meal.
